After applying the fix suggested by Etienne, I managed to build your
package. I did not review it yet, but there are a few lintian warnings
you may want to have a look into:

  I: free42 source: binary-control-field-duplicates-source field "section" in package free42
  I: free42 source: debian-watch-file-is-missing
  I: free42: extended-description-is-probably-too-short
  P: free42: no-homepage-field
  W: free42: new-package-should-close-itp-bug
  W: free42: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/free42bin
  W: free42: binary-without-manpage usr/bin/free42dec
  I: free42: desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key /usr/share/applications/free42bin.desktop:2 Encoding
  W: free42: desktop-entry-invalid-category Categories=GTK /usr/share/applications/free42bin.desktop
  I: free42: desktop-entry-contains-encoding-key /usr/share/applications/free42dec.desktop:2 Encoding
  W: free42: desktop-entry-invalid-category Categories=GTK /usr/share/applications/free42dec.desktop

(You can get details about these messages by running
'lintian -iI --pedantic' on your .changes file.)

Cheers,
